I had Xposed installed and uninstalled it, like described in scenario C. What about: "If you just uninstall Xposed Framework (the app itself), even after a reboot the "app_process" file (in /system/bin) is still the modified one by Xposed Framework, the original file is not restored."? Is there anything else to do than uninstall Xposed?

I also had Viper4android installed. I uninstalled the driver and removed the app.

Other than Xposed, I am completely stock.

EDIT: Could someone please uploade the stock 4.4.2 libaudiopreprocessing.so?
[Nexus 5 General] gohan040:
Got the same problem and not sure how to solve it. First Xposed.... Solved by turning it off... After that dalvikm ... Caused by bionic optimizations, solved... Now this one, but I really don't know what this could be... If someone knows it or it rings a bell some advice would be welcome ... Thanx in advance

If I flash the 90mb ota zip on stock rom and kernel will I lose TWRP recovery, root and data?
[Nexus 5 General] Srandista:
You will not lose TWRP and data for sure. Root maybe, but you can install it again through TWRP after update.
[Nexus 5 General] OptimusVDarwin:
With that being said ima go ahead and flash! Thank you Master!
[Nexus 5 General] Srandista:
Just for info, I was unable to install OTA, even after flash stock instead of franco kernel, get multiple files mismatch. For people with similar problem, just flash one file, system.img from older KOT49H image through fastboot and then apply OTA through adb sideload. Works perfectly, no data lost, just have to root phone again, which is no problem, since TWRP is intact by OTA.
[Nexus 5 General] PunchTheLion:
I follow the instructions to a T but when I type this in cmd

adb sideload update.zip

Windows tells me "error: device not found"...

I cant wait until Android takes over desktops.
[Nexus 5 General] Cyadd:
ADB keeps saying it cannot read update.zip. Ideas?
[Nexus 5 General] El Daddy:
I'm not sure. It's only a patch file and not the full kernel. I've never heard of anyone trying that to be honest.

My guess is it wouldn't flash.
[Nexus 5 General] RussianBear:
Figured. Do you know if we have an image or .zip of the new kernel yet?
[Nexus 5 General] Jinra321:
I was on stock rooted (with CF supersu). I flashed the update and koush's supersu (at the same time) and now I lost root. I have the supersu app under system/apps but cannot get root through any app and no prompts pop up. Any ideas?
[Nexus 5 General] El Daddy:
The images aren't out yet. Maybe [MENTION=1566190]efrant[/MENTION] has packaged it in a zip already. He's usually one to do that.
[Nexus 5 General] El Daddy:
Make sure the file isn't named 'update.zip.zip'. Windows auto names extensions.
[Nexus 5 General] _MetalHead_:
Mine keeps failing at the modem-

"EMMS:/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/modem:[buncha random numbers and letters]" has unexpected contents.

I have flashed and reflashed the stock radio that I pulled from the system image and I still get this error. Tried flashing the zip in TWRP, CWM, and ADB sideload with stock recovery. No dice, still get same error.
[Nexus 5 General] shri_chanakya:
flashed stock recovery and now it did the sideload update.

damn the format cache takes so long.
[Nexus 5 General] El Daddy:
That is odd. Try flashing boot.img. see if that helps.
[Nexus 5 General] _MetalHead_:
Already did. I reflashed everything- radio, boot, and system.

Sent from my Moto X
[Nexus 5 General] j831:
First time doing this. I want to make sure I have all the steps correct.

Rooted, TWRP custom recovery, stock ROM, franco kernel.

1. Flash stock system.img and boot.img

2. Download OTA.zip and flash via TWRP

3. Flash SuperSU

4. Reboot
[Nexus 5 General] _MetalHead_:
I got it. Instead of flashing the radio.img through fastboot, I flashed the zip through TWRP and now the update is working. I think it had something to do with the partition itself, I had some issues last night with messed up partitions. After flashing the radio.zip in TWRP it updated the partition details and I think that's what allowed it to work.
[Nexus 5 General] Cyadd:
Ah, that probably was it. I took it off, but now adb can't see my device. I could have sworn the drivers were configured correctly. I downloaded them direct from the SDK manager. I could do a adb devices, see it, then adb reboot recovery, and now it won't show up with adb devices.
[Nexus 5 General] gado45:
Worked Great! Thanks!!
[Nexus 5 General] Android The Greek:
In recovery while connected to pc Go to start right click on my computer go to manage then devices you will see nexus 5 with a yellow explanation. Right click update drivers click browse then select the second option by device and click adb interface option
[Nexus 5 General] El Daddy:
Yep. Good to go !

Weird. I was searching trying to come up with an answer. Glad you got it to work !

Adb will only work after you select 'apply update with adb'
[Nexus 5 General] _MetalHead_:
Yeah me too haha! Thanks for the help!

So i am rooted with twrp through the mac took tool kit and i have installed the smaller nav bar mod through twrp. Should i go back to stock? or should i just flash from twrp?
[Nexus 5 General] Cirkustanz:
Actually... Since I didn't remove or alter any base system apps. Only installed new ones... I should be able to use method B right?

It would be nice to not lose my data and settings.

To summarize I am stock rooted, with twrp, running art. I installed Cerberus as a system app, busybox, cf's superuser pro, and power toggles as a system app (moved it with system/app/mover).

I should be able to just remove all of those (not counting su and twrp of course) and just load the update from within twrp, right?

Does it matter that I'm on art?

Yeah, all I had to do was pop the zip into my phone and load it in TWRP...worked like a charm. The camera is great now!
[Nexus 5 General] NeoteriX:
I'm having trouble here... my phone is broken. :)

I'm bootloader unlocked, rooted, stock ROM stock kernel

Went with plan B listed here which was to boot into recovery (TWRP in my case) and flash the linked ZIP file. The flashing seemed to go fine, and then I went to wipe the dalvic and cache... when it seemed to hang here (normally any time I've ever wiped the davlc/cache it takes seconds). I did the power/vol- to restart it, went back to TWRP so I could retry wiping the dalvic/cache, but it returned an error that it failed to wipe dalvic and was unable to mount the cache. When I boot into the system, it can't find the SIM Card or any kind of mobile data (I'm on Sprint).

Attempts to restore to a nandroid I made just prior to trying to flash the update haven't fixed this cache mounting issue.

Any ideas?
[Nexus 5 General] Matte93:
Just finished updating, you lose root. Just flash SuperSU form TWRP to get root back
[Nexus 5 General] tonyafc:
Will this work if I have deleted a system apk ?

Nexus 5 xposed + gravitybox
[Nexus 5 General] Matte93:
You need adb drivers. I've used Nexus Root Toolkit to install the drivers. http://xdaforums.com/google-nexus-5/development/toolkit-wugs-nexus-root-toolkit-v1-8-0-t2517778

Also make sure you have USB Debugging checking in the Developer Options, then connect your phone.

[Nexus 5 General] bmdixon:
Here is the debuggerd file, the backup is not required to flash the OTA.

[Nexus 5 General] dontpanic4242:
Could someone please upload the stock /sys/lib/soundfx/libaudiopreprocessing.so file, as I am having problems flashing the OTA.
[Nexus 5 General] Srandista:
Yes, it should, because /system is first deleted and then its extracted to phone from the ground up.
[Nexus 5 General] Matte93:
Did you removed a system app? In this case Keep.apk? You need to put it back again to install the OTA update.
[Nexus 5 General] SaNTi285:
Hi guys

I'm feeling kind of dumb for asking It but I'm kind of rusty with this.

I have a 4.2.2 stock, rooted with xposed

I would like to ask what I should do

I need to uninstall the framework first, then go to the adb?

or do I need to reverse the root and unlock the bootloader again?

and is my data is going to delete itself in this proccess

Thank you
[Nexus 5 General] PunchTheLion:
No, it's no good.

There is something seriously wrong with the keep.apk. It keeps failing installation.

I've tried adb sideload with and without keep.apk in the system app. Obviously I'm using keep.apk from Google Play.

I've re downloaded the update.zip several times too.

Oh well. 4.4.2 is good enough!
[Nexus 5 General] kaushikd:
Check 'Section C', everything is mentioned in the first page itself.

From the OP:

If you don’t meet the criteria or don’t want to wait for the OTA to hit your device then see below.

The errors you are seeing is because the file listed in the error is either modified or missing. Follow the OP to complete the steps to fix it. If you cannot figure out how to fix it, you can always just flash the 4.4.3 factory image with the exception of userdata.img.
[Nexus 5 General] SaNTi285:
I checked It out and I went to section C and afterwards scenario A but I didn't understood If i need to unroot my device for It and If something is going to be deleted
[Nexus 5 General] Srandista:
Obviously you have to use version from 4.4.2 system image.
[Nexus 5 General] Matte93:
Download 4.4.2 factory image.

Inside that downloaded file, you'll find image-hammerhead-kot49h.zip. Unzip the files from there to your SDK folder (the same where you launch fastboot. You just need system.img).

Boot your Nexus 5 to the bootloader (volume down + power) and connect to your PC with USB cable.

From the command prompt, make sure you can see your device: fastboot devices

Then, run

fastboot erase system

fastboot flash system system.img

Now you have a clean system that can be OTA updated.

Now go to Recovery mode and sideload the 4.4.3 OTA.

You should be able to update without losing any data, but I would recommend you make a backup.
[Nexus 5 General] IMPEREAL:
What about my issue. I am completely stock with no mods whatsoever and it still fails.
[Nexus 5 General] Jacktheskipper:
OK, since I get: "/system/app/googlecamera.odex has unexpected contents" I guess I must have somehow (no idea why and how) altered my camera.apk ... any idea how to fix this or how to complete the step 2 from the opening post "Replace the stock kernel or .apk(s) you removed or modified." ...
[Nexus 5 General] El Daddy:
Are you running 4.4.2 KOT49H? Did you made any build.prop edits?

Flash the 4.4.2 system.img
[Nexus 5 General] Matte93:
1.Uninstall Xposed. Open the app go to Framework-->Uninstall.

2.Reboot.

3.From custom recovery flash the ota.zip

4.Wipe cache and dalvik. I don't know if it's needed, you can skip this.

5.Reboot system and wait until the end of the app upgrade.

6. From custom recovery flash SuperSU. http://download.chainfire.eu/446/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.99r3.zip

7.Reboot and update xposed and gravity box.
[Nexus 5 General] SaNTi285:
I'm on stock recovery

and I also can't find the adb folder, I installed the wugfresh tookit back then and it installed the drivers
[Nexus 5 General] Matte93:
If you have adb drivers download the platforms-tools.

1.Uninstall Xposed. Open the app go to Framework-->Uninstall.

2.Reboot.

3.Go to Recovery mode and sideload the 4.4.3 OTA. (Section A)

4.Reboot system and wait until the end of the app upgrade.

5.Download the TWRP custom recovery and rename it "custom" and move to C.

6.Reboot in fastboot mode.

7. run: fastboot boot recovery C:/custom.img

8.select recovery with the volume buttons and press the power button.

9.In recovery flash the latest supersu. You need to have zip file on your nexus.

Wipe cache and dalvik cache

Reboot.

10.Reboot and update xposed and gravity box.

You're now rooted and still have the stock recovery.

To your other question. Yes, the radio is new so to stay in line with future OTAs, update the radio as well.

/system/app/GoogleCamera.odex missing

Hi

I am running a unmodified stock 4.4.2 Android with TWRP and root. I was trying to install the OTA update through TWRP as I did with previous updates but it fails because the file GoogleCamera.odex in /system/app/ is missing. I re-installed all updates for "Google Camera" through play store and wiped the cache and dalvik-cache but the .odex file never appears (the GoogleCamera.apk is there of course). Any idea whats going on and how to fix it? Or can someone upload it for me if that's possible?

Thanks for any help!
[Nexus 5 General] El Daddy:
You need the camera.apk and odex that shipped with 4.4.2.

You can either replace that or flash the 4.4.2 system.img
[Nexus 5 General] jag826:
Thank you. It was successful.
[Nexus 5 General] blakeslee14:
Everything worked great. Thanks for all of the info. Had a strange issue when I rerooted that the supersu app didn't appear in the app drawer but the phone was rooted. I.e. xposed worked fine. After that just redownloaded SuperSU from the play store. it appeared again and I was able to update the binarys and such.
[Nexus 5 General] bancswissunique:
Great, it worked! I removed all updates to the "Google Camera" app in play store. Extracted the GoogleCamera.odex file from the 4.4.2 factory image and copied it over.

Thanks!

P.S: I though the .odex file is automatically generated and not preinstalled with the system image.

[Nexus 5 General] jd1639:
The bootloader was not updated
[Nexus 5 General] jkcarp94:
When that happens go to the device manager in Windows and I would bet you will see the Nexus 5 listed in the other category with a warning icon on it. Right click the Nexus 5 and select Update Driver and tell it that you want to manually pick the drivers from the list. Pick the Android phone category and then the ADB drivers. If Android is not an option in the list then that means that the drivers are not installed for some reason. In that case you need to download the Google USB drivers from Google and point the device manager driver updates to the folder that contains those new download the drivers.
[Nexus 5 General] Yaz75:
Your instructions are clear and concise. Trying to get Windows 8, phone, the SDK and sideloader working together is a major pain in my ass.

I appreciate your efforts. I'm way too frustrated to bother at this point and I'll just wait for the OTA. Too much irritation for an incremental update.

Just wanted to thank you again for your efforts.

You don't have to unlock the bootloader to flash this zip. You will need adb, though. Just boot into recovery, select the sideload option and then run 'adb sideload <ota_zip>' from your computer (after you've plugged in your phone to USB, of course).

Velvet problem with updating

4.4.2 custom recovery rooted, no modifications (so I thought) updating via OTA zip in recovery getting this error 7 (priv-app/Velvet.apk has unexpected contents)

I erased google search and downloaded the version from play store so I'm not sure why I keep getting this error.

Thoughts?
[Nexus 5 General] crazycaveman:
Try running the steps in Section A. Is there a particular reason you don't want a custom recovery?

It seems like you've modified the Velvet.apk file in /system previously. I have posted a zip file that can fix it for you or you can flash back to stock (just the system partition).

jd1639 has a modified factory image that won't wipe /data that would also help
[Nexus 5 General] thiagomonts:
Thanks! Because I won't put any custom rom on my device, use only root to remove some applications that don't use and Xposed to add some features that I find interesting.
[Nexus 5 General] crazycaveman:
If you have deleted apps from the system partition, there is a high probability that the OTA will fail (something has unexpected contents), but you can still give it a shot without messing up anything. If it does fail, you will need to flash the factory system image to fix this (see jd1639's post)
